The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is seeking the public’s input to help guide its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. The main objective of the program is to provide small businesses owned and operated by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals a fair opportunity to compete for federally funded transportation contracts. Through the program, the department seeks to remove barriers and ensure nondiscrimination of federally eligible DBEs with the public’s guidance.

A meeting will be held on Jan. 18, and interested parties are invited to connect to the online meeting via WebEx. Those with questions or desiring more information can contact DBE Program Coordinator Ronnie Winks at [email protected] or 208-334-8567.
